Item 5.02Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.  

 

On April 20, 2016, the stockholders of ORBCOMM Inc. (the “Company”) approved the ORBCOMM Inc. 2016 Long-Term Incentives Plan (the “2016 LTIP”), as described in the Company’s proxy statement dated March 18, 2016 for the Company’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Board of Directors adopted the 2016 LTIP on February 17, 2016, subject to approval by the Company’s stockholders at the 2016 Annual Meeting. The 2016 LTIP replaces the Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentives Plan, as amended (the “2006 LTIP”), which was due to expire in September 2016.  Upon approval of the 2016 LTIP by stockholders, no further awards will be made under the 2006 LTIP.

 

The 2016 LTIP permits the grant of a variety of awards to employees (including named executive officers), prospective employees and non-employee directors, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares and cash awards. The number of shares authorized for delivery under the 2016 LTIP is 6,949,400 shares, including 1,949,400 shares that remained available under the 2006 LTIP as of February 17, 2016.

 

The foregoing description of the 2016 LTIP is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the 2016 LTIP, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
